C50 (1/2)

Bai Wusheng made two mistakes.

The first was to underestimate the enemy. In the depths of his heart, he naturally believed that the Fire Phoenix Army, which had only three hundred or so people within the Moqiu State, was like a mouse that could not be shamed. He had never thought that his opponent would actually dare to form a formation and launch a joint charge with a Knight.

The second was that it was too fast. When Bai Wusheng was cursing Xu Keding for not cooperating together and continued to fight for military merits, he made the same mistake and it was even worse. From the initial full speed chase to the repeated increases later on, Bai Wusheng's underlings were no longer organized. More than five thousand people had been pulled into a long line of soldiers. The two hundred guards around him were also exhausted. Even so, he had specially stopped over a thousand of his soldiers, ordering them to stop Xu Keding near his Sunset Ditch.

These two mistakes had created a tragic ending for Bai Wusheng.

When Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi took the lead and flew over, Bai Wusheng knew that he was finished. Some of the guards even subconsciously raised the water sac in their hands to block the blade that was hacked down heavily by the Fire Phoenix Army.

Qu Feizhi did not recognize Bai Wusheng at all, he had just subconsciously rushed towards the man dressed in the brightest light, and with one slash, chopped off the other party's head, raised it up high, and shouted loudly, ”The main general is dead! Do not kill those who surrender! ”

When he shouted, many Moqiu Soldier were stunned. Chen Chu, on the other hand, did not even think about cooperating with Qu Feizhi's actions to be magnanimous at all. Carrying a group of Knights, he flew past Qu Feizhi's side and used the military knife in his hand to cut open the necks of the stunned Moqiu Soldier.

The main general was killed and the front team suffered heavy casualties. In a short while, the Moqiu Soldier who had been running behind, gasping for breath, collapsed. The place where they had gathered had now become a execution ground, where they had lost their lives.

In the front, charge at the middle, and in the back. The soldiers behind him had no idea what was going on. All he knew was that the soldiers in front of him were running like crazy, shouting as they ran that the enemy was coming and that General Bai was dead in battle. No one knew if it was true or false, and no one was willing to risk their lives to identify it. A huge panic instantly engulfed the entire team. Especially when Qu Feizhi began to throw the small jar of kerosene s in his hands towards those soldiers who were barely able to gather together to resist, this fear had reached its peak.

If two armies fought each other, three hundred against five thousand, there was not a single chance for the Fire Phoenix Army to win. But all the Moqiu Army generals had made a habitual mistake: This was not the Phoenix City Pass! Fire Phoenix Army did not have anything that they needed to protect. They did not need to defeat or destroy.

There was no suspense as three hundred squadrons of cavalrymen panted over five thousand runners. The three hundred cavalrymen were like three hundred vicious shepherds and the several thousand Moqiu Soldier s were like a flock of sheep running for their lives. They were driven away mercilessly and did not dare to stop in their tracks to resist. Those who were slow would have their heads chopped off by the blade, while those piled up would be burnt to ashes by the kerosene. They could only run, run with all their might, and only needed to run faster than their comrades to run a little bit away from death.

Some of them tried to jump into the Surging Waves River at the side, but the smooth surface of the river could not stop the kerosene from burning up. Some of them were burnt to ashes by the flames the moment they appeared, screaming miserably as they drowned in the water.

's team was chopped into pieces right in front of his eyes, and when he raised his head and saw the red cavalry, which looked like a demon from afar, he started to panic. At the same time, he ordered the frontline to turn around and form an array. He had to stop the attacks of the cavalry and Bai Wusheng's remnants.

This was yet another fatal order.

Originally, Xu Keding's team had already left their Sunset Ditch and were entangled with Bai Wusheng's team behind, who had been ordered to intercept. Then, when Xu Keding realized that something was wrong, he ordered the frontline to return back into the ditch, and now he was instructing the frontline to turn around and form the formation again. Two contradictory orders were passed down in a short period of time, and the team of over two thousand people was thrown into chaos.

Bai Wusheng's remnants also acted as the vanguard of the Fire Phoenix Cavalry. They rushed towards the Sunset Ditch while wailing and begging towards Xu Keding's troops: ”We're all brothers from the same clan, let's give them a way out!”

Some of the handicapped veterans who had already lost their mind raised their blades towards Xu Keding's soldiers. They did not care if they were brothers or not, and only wanted to hide in their Sunset Ditch to find a way out. The soldiers who saw their own robes being cut were also furious, they pulled out their blades and fiercely slashed back.

It was a mess, the western part of the Sunset Ditch was completely thrown into chaos.

Xu Keding's team was already going crazy, they were executing the two contradictory orders of ”turn around”. There was a team in the ditch, who did not know of the situation, still urging them impatiently, and outside the ditch, there was the attack from Bai Wusheng's broken body. What was even more terrifying was that the devilish red knight had already revealed their figures.

Qu Feizhi took the lead and rushed to the western entrance of Sunset Ditch, he bent down to take out the kerosene from under the saddle and ruthlessly smashed it into the group of messy soldiers. Behind him, a few Knights who were holding onto bow decked with horn of an animal s shot out flaming arrows at the place where the kerosene had landed. The place where the flames rose, the Moqiu Soldier's screams had reached their peak. The following riders repeated their movements of throwing out kerosene s and rockets. After three rounds, the western entrance of Sunset Ditch had already turned into a sea of fire.

After igniting the fire, Qu Feizhi did not stay any longer. He brought the rest of the cavalrymen to continue chasing after the remnants of Bai Wusheng's soldiers. The next performance would be handed over to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu reined his mount, and smiled while looking at the Moqiu Soldier s on the other side of the sea of flames. The riders under him got off their horses, took down their bags from the horses, and carefully laid them out on the ground. There were around twenty to thirty Knights by Chen Chu's side, replenishing their kerosene s continuously within the Sunset Ditch, blocking thousands of people inside.

kerosene and saltpeter were the two biggest gains Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi had previously.

According to the intelligence provided by the Fat Cui, they found out that there was a large amount of kerosene and saltpeter in the warehouse of the relay station outside of the Wolf Drinking Town. These items were mainly used to clear the silt from the river and to discharge the flood during the flood.
